Players are
recommended to confirm parking
arrangements with the hotel either
before arrival or at reception on
arrival. Some of our hotels employ
third party contractors, and parking
penalties may be levied if vehicle
details are not provided to the
hotel.

order to take advantage of the discounted dinner rate.

Junior players pay half price for dinner. Juniors
are defined as from below 12 years old to below 16 years old
depending on the hotel. Please check with Bridge Overseas when
booking.

Extra night prices, upgrades and special requests
are available and again must be booked through Bridge Overseas at
the time of booking, not on arrival.

Payments can be taken by cheque, debit card, credit
card and BACS transfers. Credit card payments carry a 2% fee, debit
cards do not. American Express is also accepted.

Booking

Rooms will be allocated on a “first come first served” basis. So if a booking can be catered
for within the bedroom allocation for the hotel where play takes
place that will be done. If it cannot be catered for within that
allocation, the booking will be placed at an overflow hotel.

When you make a booking credit card details will be
requested and an invoice issued. Payments can also be made by
cheque, debit card or BACS transfer (see above).

Payment

Amounts due will be debited to your credit card on
the Monday after the weekend.

Cancellation

Rooms can be cancelled without charge up to five
full working days before the weekend (and will be reallocated
elsewhere). If cancellations take place after this deadline, Bridge
Overseas will use their best endeavours to reallocate the room, but
if this cannot be done you will be liable for the room cost. In
practice, however, demand for rooms is such that the likelihood is
that they can be reallocated in almost all cases.

Special Circumstances

Bridge Overseas will do their very best in
special/mitigating circumstances to avoid cancellation charges,
although this cannot be guaranteed. Bridge Overseas do not aim to
benefit financially from anyone's misfortunes.

Other

Evening meals ideally need to be booked along with
the room. Dinners can of course be booked directly on site, but any
discounted rates will in all probability not be available. Booked
dinners will be charged for if not taken. Pre booked evening meals
are chargeable in full even if not taken.

Please note that hotel loyalty
programmes/cards cannot be used when booking
through Bridge Overseas.

Block Bookings

Block bookings will be accepted if accompanied by
the captain’s/manager’s credit card details.

Rooms will be allocated on a “first come first served” basis. So if a block booking can be
catered for within the bedroom allocation for the hotel where play
takes place that will be done. If it cannot be catered for within
that allocation, the block booking will be placed at an overflow
hotel.

When a block booking is received a proforma invoice
will be issued to the captain/manager. The block booking is not
confirmed in the absence of this proforma invoice.

Players can phone up before the weekend with their
own credit card details to pay for their room (or pay by cheque,
debit card or BACS transfer – see above) if that is the arrangement
they have in place with their captain/manager. Invoices will be
issued to players at that point.

Captains/managers are liable for any bedrooms not
paid for separately by their players.

Amounts due will be debited to players’ credit cards
on the Monday after the weekend. Amounts due from captains/managers
in respect of unpaid rooms will also be debited to
captains’/managers’ credit cards on the Monday, and an invoice
issued for the balance.

Rooms can be cancelled up to five full working days
before the weekend (and will be reallocated elsewhere). If
cancellations take place after this deadline, Bridge Overseas will
use their best endeavours to reallocate the room, but if this cannot
be done captains/managers will be liable for the room cost. In
practice, as you know, demand for rooms is such that the likelihood
is that they can be reallocated in almost all cases.

Names can be changed on existing bookings at any
point. However, because hotels are seemingly struggling to cope with
late name changes, Bridge Overseas will send final rooming lists to
the hotels no later than the Wednesday before the weekend. Any room
bookings at this point for which individual credit card details have
not been received will be allocated a unique booking reference
number. If players contact Bridge Overseas with their credit card
details after the Wednesday deadline they will be given this unique
booking reference number to quote when they arrive at the hotel.

Evening meals ideally need to be booked along with
the room. Dinners can of course be booked directly on site, but any
discounted rates will in all probability not be available. Booked
dinners will be charged for if not taken. Pre booked evening meals
are chargeable in full even if not taken.
